Executor Services 

Choosing the right Executor is a very important step in the estate planning process. 

The Executor must deal with family members during a period of grief and cope with conflicts that may arise among beneficiaries during the administration of an estate. The Executor's actions are subject to scrutiny not only by beneficiaries, but also by tax authorities, creditors and potentially the courts. Depending on your circumstances and the complexity of your estate, you may benefit from Corporate Executor services offered by BMO Trust Company. By designating a team of experienced professionals, you can be assured there will always be qualified individuals available to administer your estate in a timely and considerate manner.
